Bandbox: an uncompensated review of an interesting new club

Anyone get an email from Bandbox? I went to go pick my selection for the month but no dice. Just says the portal is down and they’d be sending an email “later today” but no idea when that was posted.

I went ahead last week and just sent them an email with my pick and they said it was updated. Put those Rufus records on for a couple of the months ahead.

Pretty safe to say we'll get a low-stock email if anything gets close? I was going to lock in Want One for next month after April locks in (going with Luna).

It's hard to tell, feel like things can be a bit inconsistent in their notices. I have some credit left so figure I can use that if something else chimes up that I want. I think my picks are locked in through June or July now.
 
Dear fellow record collector,

After beginning as a subscription-only mystery box four years ago, Bandbox has assumed many different formats. This month, unfortunately, we are closing the chapter on that subscription program. Going forward, all Bandbox releases will only be available as a one-time purchase at bandboxrocks.com.

All members with a prepaid Bandbox subscription will be emailed a digital Bandbox gift card worth the full-price balance of their plan (good for the one-time purchase value of each album) by Tuesday, May 2. In the meantime, if you'd like to claim one of the albums remaining on your subscription, email talk@bandboxrocks.com and we'll process your order ASAP and deduct its value from this gift card.

If you had already chosen an album for your upcoming charge through the member portal, you'll need to order it as a one-time purchase through one of these two methods.

For all month-to-month subscribers, the code 20OFF will still get you the 20% you saved each month through your membership. That discount is valid through May 31 and is only available to customers who were on a month-to-month membership plan.

In the coming weeks, we'll be rolling out new prepay + save options and a rewards + referral program. We deeply value your loyalty to our subscription program over the past four years, and we look forward to an exciting 2023 full of exciting Bandbox colored vinyl releases. Please email talk@bandboxrocks.com with any questions!

Rock on,
Team Bandbox

Oof. So wait. What about stuff that was selected in previous months but hadn’t yet shipped?

You get a credit in the dollar amount of what’s remaining.

I'm guessing you will need to use the new "gift card" to re-purchase them as one time purchases.

What a fucking mess this is going to be.

I'm sure it goes without saying that the additional loyalty gift cards and test press for being a 12 month member are going into the "lol what?' zone for them.

I got my 3-month and 6-month gift cards, so at least there's that...did others get one at 9?

And yeah, I have 0 expectation I'm getting a test pressing now, which was part of the deal I signed up for...
